"Hate That I Love You" is a song by pop singer Rihanna, released as a third single from her third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad. It features R&B-pop singer Ne-Yo, who had worked with Rihanna previously, contributing to her 2006 hit "Unfaithful". The song was produced by StarGate, who also produced Rihanna's 2006 song "Unfaithful" and "Sexy Love" by Ne-Yo. It is noted, along with another Stargate production on the album, for having a similar structure and melody to their other works.
The song was nominated for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals at the 50th Grammy Awards.

[edit] Writing and music structure
"Hate That I Love You" is a duet by Rihanna and American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo, who also wrote the album's title track. In an interview, Rihanna said "That song [Hate That I Love You], when it first starts off, you think it's a sexy song, but you have to listen to the lyrics. It's a really deep song."[1]
"Hate That I Love You" is a moderate groove song set in the key of A♭. It is set in common time.[2] The song highlights a strummed guitar which is mostly set in a suspended chord,[2] and features a sing-along chorus.[3]
[edit] Reception
MSN remarked "Hate That I Love You" for being "nowhere near as poppy" compared to the song's predecessor Umbrella, "but is a classy R&B song with a strong melody," with "[good] vocal performances from the pair and lyrics which tell a familiar tale in a refreshingly uncliched manner."[4] Stylus Magazine was unimpressed with the song quoting the song's structure as a mix of Ne-Yo and Stargate's previous works saying, "Here you’ve got the 'Sexy Love' drums, the 'Irreplaceable' strum, and a bit of the synth and chorus melody from 'So Sick'... is hardly the new twist all these old bits need to sound fresh," rating the song two stars out of ten.[5] Digital Spy called the song a "folky, midtempo R&B mushfest."[6]
[edit] Chart performance
"Hate That I Love You" debuted at number twenty-four on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles on August 30, 2007,[7] subsequently debuting at number eighty-five on the Billboard Pop 100 and at number six on the Billboard Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles, all on the same day.[8][9] The song debuted at number ninety-eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and has so far peaked at number seven after spending five weeks locked at number nine, becoming her sixth top ten single in the United States and her first since "Umbrella". It rose to number twelve on the Billboard Pop 100 in the same week. Downloads to date on Billboard's Digital Download charts stand at 1.04 million.[10][11]
In the UK, the single peaked at number fifteen upon its physical release. In Australia, "Hate that I Love You" debuted at number forty-eight on the Australian ARIA singles chart, and descended to number forty-nine the following week. However in its third week, the song ascended to number eighteen, jumping thirty-one spots to become one of the biggest jumps in ARIA charts history. It eventually peaked at number 14 on the Australian charts. In Spain, the Spanish version featuring David Bisbal debuted at number five in the digital track chart, and it peaked at number three for three consecutive weeks.
[edit] Music video
Rihanna, with director Anthony Mandler shot the music video for "Hate That I Love You" in Los Angeles on August 13th, 2007. The video was premiered on her official website on September 24, 2007. The video also debuted on TRL on October 1, 2007 for a First Look and debuted at number nine the next day for the first time. It only had been on TRL for twelve days and has been number one twice. The video peaked at number two on its ninth day, on BET's 106 & Park. It is her most successful video on 106 & Park so far (Pon De Replay and Umbrella peaked at number four).
The video begins with Rihanna laying on a bed in what could be an apartment or hotel room. She browses through her clothes that are strewn on the floor. Ne-Yo is shown walking down the street. Rihanna eventually begins dressing, and Ne-Yo enters the building she's in. She puts on a black trench coat and leaves her room as Ne-Yo enters an elevator. They meet, smile at each other, and then move on without speaking. Rihanna then goes outside the building and boards a car, while Ne-Yo is shown knocking on his girlfriend's door. She greets him wearing a robe. Rihanna is then shown in the car, smiling at her date.
The video for "Hate That I Love You" featuring David Bisbal is the same as the original video, but with David's scenes edited in the original video and Ne-Yo's parts removed.
[edit] Spanglish version
A new version of the song, titled "Cómo Odio Amarte", leaked online on December 2, 2007. Spanish singer David Bisbal sings Ne-Yo's part in Spanish, however, Rihanna's parts are still in English, so David's vocals are just edited in the original version of the song, and Ne-Yo's vocals are removed. This version is included in a bonus disc on Bisbal's Premonición DVD as well as on the re-release of Good Girl Gone Bad.
